| OTTAWA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2005--The Eclipse |
| Foundation, an open source community committed to |
| implementation of a universal development platform, will |
| make the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) 1.0 release |
| generally available the week of Dec 19th, 2005. Eclipse WTP |
| 1.0 is an extensible, standards-based tool platform for |
| developing J2EE and Web applications. WTP has already been |
| adopted by the leading J2EE suppliers, including BEA, |
| Borland, IBM, JBoss and ObjectWeb. This full version release |
| solidifies the platform API for 3rd party extension, and |
| accompanying major documentation improvements make WTP ready |
| for the next-level of vendor adoption. |

| "This release really starts to deliver on the vision of the |
| Web Tools Platform," said Mike Milinkovich, executive |
| director of the Eclipse Foundation. "Providing a strong |
| platform for companies to leverage when building Web and |
| J2EE tools is a critical component of Eclipse's strategy for |
| providing a universal development platform for tools |
| integration." |

| "The new features of WTP 1.0 are designed to create a more |
| vendor ready platform for Web and J2EE development," said |
| Tim Wagner, the PMC Lead of the Web Tools Project from BEA |
| Systems. "Working together with the diverse member companies |
| in the project and the community has helped immensely to |
| produce these platform APIs, which can help to better enable |
| other commercial vendors to leverage WTP tools for their |
| products." |

| This release focuses on two of the three major goals |
| outlined in the WTP roadmap: defining the WTP API, and |
| keeping current with the underlying Eclipse platform. Future |
| releases will focus more on the third roadmap goal of |
| currency with Web and J2EE standards like Java 5.0 and WSDL |
| 2.0. Building atop the Eclipse 3.1.1 maintenance release, |
| WTP 1.0 upgrades the original 0.7 release to a state that is |
| suitable for adoption by tool vendors and debuts several new |
| features: |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li> |
| Promote selected provisional APIs to platform status |
| based on vendor requirements; |
| </li> |
| |
| |
| <li> |
| Componentize WTP into features to enable adopters to |
| select subsets of functionality appropriate to their |
| requirements; |
| </li> |
| |
| |
| <li> |
| Enhance and extend the wide array of out-of-the-box |
| developer tools introduced in the 0.7 release; |
| </li> |
| |
| |
| <li> |
| "Future-proof" WTP by aligning its project model |
| with Eclipse platform changes planned for version |
| 3.2 (the "Callisto" release); |
| </li> |
| |
| |
| <li> |
| Major document and help system contributions from |
| IBM that include both end-user and adopter |
| documentation; and |
| </li> |
| |
| |
| <li> |
| Fix important bugs, with an emphasis on stability, |
| adoption issues, performance and scalability. |

| Inclusion of feedback from the community will ultimately |
| help address the challenge of producing the right platform |
| APIs for a demanding vendor community; input from many |
| sources is not only welcome but necessary. The project |
| already has attracted the active participation of major |
| vendors like BEA, who leads the project, ObjectWeb and IBM |
| who helped initiate the project, JBoss and Oracle. The |
| adoption and use of WTP 1.0 in commercial products like BEA |
| Workshop(TM) and IBM Rational(R) Application Developer for |
| WebSphere(R) Software can help to accelerate the adoption |
| curve by other vendors, as improvements derived from their |
| usage can help to lower the risk for other vendors wishing |
| to leverage WTP technology. Downloads are available now at |
| the project website, located at |
